Motherboard only running SATA1. Options?

My desktop is ancient (Intel Core Q6600 on ASUS P5NE mb or something). Only appears to be running SATA1 and so SSD is rather underutilized. Is it possible to get a SATA3 card AND boot from it? (I guess the boot part is the problem?)

Yeah, they do that quite a lot, it'll be the result of a complaint. I got a post deleted for identifying that a poster might be Irish (from their name). I think some people don't like hearing the truth sometimes and lacking the intellect for a reasoned debate they abuse the system to get back at people.
I don't think what your asking is possible, PCI slots just don't have the bandwidth. Even the PCIE slots run at 1/3 the speed of Sata3.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Mine too
I went with a SSD on a PCI-e card as my boot 'drive'. It's recognised in the BIOS as a bootable volume (at least in Windows 7 or 10).
It's quicker than pretty much any SATA, but more expensive per GB.
